Relaxation methods for hybrid and switched control problems

Vadim Azhmyakov organizes relaxation-based optimal control around hybrid and switched dynamical systems, linking formal mathematical foundations with engineering-oriented numerical work. The guide begins with relaxation techniques for systems modeled by ordinary differential equations, then develops a self-contained framework for several subclasses of hybrid and switched systems. Mathematical tools, formal results, and algorithms are presented alongside practically oriented control problems, making the volume both a reference to modern relaxation theory and a working resource for applying it to dynamic-system models.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineers working with optimal control models involving switching or hybrid dynamics
  • Applied mathematics students and researchers seeking a formal account of relaxation techniques
  • Practitioners interested in numerical methods and algorithms for dynamic systems

Book overview

A Relaxation Based Approach to Optimal Control of Hybrid and Switched Systems proposes a unified approach to effective and numerically tractable relaxation schemes for optimal control problems of hybrid and switched systems. The book gives an overview of the existing (conventional and newly developed) relaxation techniques associated with the conventional systems described by ordinary differential equations. Next, it constructs a self-contained relaxation theory for optimal control processes governed by various types (sub-classes) of general hybrid and switched systems. It contains all mathematical tools necessary for an adequate understanding and using of the sophisticated relaxation techniques.

In addition, readers will find many practically oriented optimal control problems related to the new class of dynamic systems. All in all, the book follows engineering and numerical concepts. However, it can also be considered as a mathematical compendium that contains the necessary formal results and important algorithms related to the modern relaxation theory.
